[QUOTE="Da Grappla, post: 845879, member: 66611"] I could agree with Italy having won their spot in the competition back in the 90s. Surely there were reasons for them to be chosen by the board members as new peers joining in. They proved their value at the first chance, by just winning the first match against the last champion, Scotland. Further improvements had to wait but in the years to come, they delivered. They defeated France, Wales... Those times are over. I think they have to won that spot back again, it shouldn't be an impossible task for them, Georgia, regardless of how much I would like them to be able to play in a Tier 1 tournament on a regular basis, are not yet at the same level. But man, they would offer Italy a rough time. I don't want to see another 80s Romania, a team good enough to defeat France and some home nations, slipping away just because a dying team has to plugged on with life support no matter what they do.
